Tutorial series

Some subjects do not fit in one article. Building a secured REST API touches project setup, persistence, validation, error handling and authentication, and compressing that into a single page produces something too shallow to follow or too long to finish. Those subjects are published as a series instead: several articles written in order, each covering one stage properly.

A series is meant to be read from the first part. Each one still stands on its own well enough to be useful if you arrive from a search result partway through, and every article in a series shows the full running order in its sidebar so it is clear where you are and what comes next.

A subject only becomes a series when there is genuinely more than one part to write. A single article on a subject stays a single article and is listed under its topic instead — splitting one guide across three pages to make it look like a course helps nobody.
